Buzz will play the same guys that got them in this mess, and that group (other than Burton) is no fun to watch.
Just end this nonsense now and move on to next season.
Wrong. Besides, this game isn't over yet. If we lose, you're still wrong.
Agreed^ Thanks for your valuable contributions WarriorGreg ::)

It's over.
Xavier isn't even that good, but it's over.
Normally, there is benefit to playing an extended season to get more time for the younger players. However, that won't happen. We'll just get more of the same old, same old, and likely lose to a team beneath us on the food chain. Just end this mess, put in the rear view mirror and forget it as quickly as possible...

You want to get your team more reps, tournament style play. Good experience. You accept and you play.
Don't be ridiculous.

Idiots everywhere.
NIT - there's a bunch of teams in major conferences pretty much identical to us. You absolutely play it. CBI, not so much.

I've never met a "Greg" that I've liked.
If MU plays in the NIT, Buzz shouldn't be allowed to play Anderson, Thomas, or any of the Wilsons. Let the young kids play.
Why the hell would we turn it down. Are you nuts
Dumb post. I remember the NIT in 2004. Actually wasn't a half bad time. Nobody turns down the NIT anyways...not even Kentucky.

If the freshman would get major minutes, then I'd agree.
But to watch D. Wilson and Jamil and Jake again...no point.
God, this won't be any better next year, either.

and there goes the ignore. i'm guessing you already got booted from this board once under another name earlier this season.

It's been said a million times, but this season has been a disappointment in terms of coaching and player development. Why not play for the future when we have nothing to play for this season? No one cares who wins the NIT. Play JJJ and Burton and give them time to develop. NIT is a perfect time for this.

You get out there and compete and get better. I'll enjoy watching Davante, Jamil, Jake, Otule and the rest of my team for as long as they can go. I don't get how a fan can think otherwise, as frustrating as it is at times. These guys have all busted their asses and represented MU well in some great times. Not going to bail b/c this year hasn't gone as planned. That's weak.

Seniors don't need more reps. He ain't gonna change the lineup.
Does this guy even know MU BB history? Does he know about AL and the NIT. I know NIT was more prominent then, but still.

Buzz was BRUTAL this season.
And he'll play the same crappy players in the NIT with Dawson and JJJ rotting on the bench. Nothing positive will come out of losing at Indiana in the opening round.
Only to watch and let the Frosh play. The seniors suck outside of DG.

I sure Burton will continue to start and I am sure JJJ will not see the floor.

Know all about that history. And it's history.
Buzz is going to go with the same rotation that caused this season to be an outright failure.
Ordinarily I would say you always accept, but to accept and get our asses kicked by Creanie at Indiana...I don't know.
Quote from: brandx on March 13, 2014, 11:01:56 PM
Seniors don't need more reps. He ain't gonna change the lineup.
I'm encouraged that he started Burton tonight, it's a start...even if the season is 98% over.
And if playing time was truly "earned," then Jamil Wilson would sit for the entire game in the NIT.
But Buzz loves Seniors and it doesn't matter how badly they play.
Quote from: Automatic, 77% of the time on March 13, 2014, 11:06:07 PM
Maybe he's a reincarnation of Tall Titan or the other scoopers that left/were banned during the Mass Exodus of 2014 AD.
The great Mass Exodus of March, 2014....I remember that. Historic
It's hard to be the dumbest poster of year after this season, but WarriorGreg is going off as a strong favorite at the windows.
Sigh....what does Buzz have to do to get people to realize that he has been changing things?
Burton started tonight (worked out great)
Mayo ran the point (worked out not so great)
STJ got an extended run in the first half (worked out not so great)
Everyone thinks Buzz is unwilling to play certain players when it's simply not true. He's been trying new things all season.
In the end, we are not very good this year. Now that is on Buzz for not recruiting/developing properly. But I have been fine with the rotations.
Quote from: Automatic, 77% of the time on March 13, 2014, 11:13:00 PM

He had a point worth bringing up and that I'm sure others thought about too. Calm down, hot shot.
He's had zero points worth bringing up. It's all garbage.
Of course we go, and I'll be watching in gold.

Maybe quit giving our starting backcourt so many minutes. That was the biggest reason for 17-15. And it didn't change one bit the entire season even though we knew 5 games in it wasn't going to get the job done.
Maybe not giving Juan more minutes in the 2nd half of the BE season than the 1st half - keeping Burton on the bench.

I think the NIT is important for the Big East. We need all of our teams to do well in NIT. The league would be a joke, if the three or four Big East teams all lost in first round. The one way to prove the Big East was worthy of 6 NCAA bids is to get two teams in the NIT final four. You have to remember teams may have to play on an opposing team's home court, which makes it a tougher game than some NCAA tournament games.

Can't find the logic there.

Because if you reach the NIT final four you are considered better than many of the automatic qualifiers that make the NCAA tourney (14, 15 and 16 seeds).

I agree six is over the top, but I think that was his thought process. I don't think this conference deserves more than two.

This thread is just stupid. We played terribly all year and would be lucky to still be playing in mid-March anywhere they'll let us.

+1. It's an "ok, that's nice" to be in the field, but no one cares about how teams actually do in a quest to become the tallest midget. Half the teams stink, half aren't trying very hard. Get the young guys some reps and have some fun with it.
Of course, everyone would prefer to be in the NCAA tourney, but an extended run in the NIT if you can make one would still be fun. The NIT of course is a bit of a downer initially, but for the teams that can make that run to the final four of the NIT and get back to MSG, I would think that is a pretty cool and worthwhile experience.
The current NIT bracketology has Davidson going.
And of course Indiana.
Since we're going I'm hoping for a matchup with a little intrigue.
